All our transfers are frame-by-frame, and we offer a helpful array of file formats (codecs.)

If you want to read some great details, our website is known for that. It will guide you to make the best choice. Please keep in mind, Nathaniel is always here to help -- just call (805) 640-8883. (As we are a small transfer-house, we do not employ a full-time receptionist; so please do leave a message. It's likely your call will be returned promptly.)

Unlike some other transfer houses, we do NOT project your film’s image onto a secondary image, (such as a silver-screen or matt glass) but rather it goes straight onto our high-end 3CCD chip industrial camera. This direct method is most important in achieving a crisp and sharp image.

We professionally transfer film to DVD, Blu-ray or Hard Drive. Exceptional quality frame by frame transfer using Telecine in Full HD. Our equipment is far better than a simple Wolverine table-top scanner.

Recognizing the difference between Super-8 and Normal-8
Normal 8 film has larger perforations at the edges of the film than does Super-8 film. In Normal 8, the holes are almost square. In Super-8, the holes are elongated and narrow. The film spools are also different. In Normal 8, the center hole of the film spool is smaller than the center hole of the Super-8 spool. In Normal-8, the center hole measures approximately 8 mm. In Super-8, it measures approximately 13 mm.

It’s easy to find out. From this page, you are 1 or 2 clicks away from seeing your "Estimated Completion Date." As soon as you finish your free online Estimate, it shows you the ESTIMATED completion date. Sometimes we beat that date but if, for any reason, we find we might go over by a day or two, we will surely notify you (that’s rare.)

NOTE: Our turn-around time varies based on how much work we already have "in-house" at the time your order is placed.

We base our invoice on the total minutes of your transferred footage. For slides or images, it is based on the actual number of images. Therefore, it is only after the transfer is completed that we will know the total cost of your order. We then notify you via email, and you can pay for it then.

If you have under-estimated your total footage (or slides), your invoice will be a bit more, and if you over-estimated, then the cost will be a bit less. Both cases happen sometimes, and it’s OK.
